Introduction
Hematopoietic stemcell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly used for the treatment of both malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Survival after autologous/allogeneic HSCT is no longer the highest concern, as many patients

Introduction
Fertility in males is dependent on the presence of a germ cell population that is capable of developing into sperm in adulthood. However, the ability of spermatogonial stemcells (SSC) to give rise to sperm is dependent on the
